Atrial septal defect with a rare occupying lesion in heart

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Abstract Background Cardiac epicardium hemangiomas are exceedingly rare; however, they can cause significant hemodynamic impairment and large pericardial effusions. On rare occasion, cardiac tumors coexist with malformations of the heart.

Morphological Substrates for Atrial Arrhythmogenesis in a Heart With Atrioventricular Septal Defect [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Due to advances in corrective surgery, congenital heart disease has an ever growing patient population. Atrial arrhythmias are frequently observed pre- and post-surgical correction. Pharmaceutical antiarrhythmic therapy is not always effective, therefore many symptomatic patients undergo catheter ablation therapy.

Congestive heart failure in children with atrial septal defect

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1966
Summary Congestive heart failure or severe symptoms of physical disability, growth retardation, and frequent pulmonary infections may occur in children with preoperative diagnosis limited to that of atrial septal defect. At operation these patients may be found to have additional lesions demanding operative correction.

Heart rate variability in patients with atrial septal defect and healthy children [PDF]

Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Heart rate variability (HRV) measures are altered in various cardiac and non-cardiac situations in children. The autonomic nervous system is assumed to have a role in the pathophysiology of atrial septal defect (ASD). In this study, we evaluated the autonomic system by measuring HRV in children with ASD.Twenty-eight patients with ASD and 32 healthy ...

Heart Rate Behavior in Children with Atrial Septal Defect

Cardiology, 1998
The aim of this study was to assess heart rate variability, a noninvasive parameter for studying the neurohumoral control of heart rate, in children with atrial septal defect. We examined five time-domain and three frequency-domain indices of heart rate variability determined from 24-hour Holter recordings in 20 children, aged 3–14 years, with secundum

Atrial Septal Stent Implant: Atrial Septal Defect Creation in the Management of Complex Congenital Heart Defects in Infants

Congenital Heart Disease, 2006
Certain congenital heart defects require the creation of an unrestrictive atrial septal defect (ASD) to relieve atrial hypertension, to maintain systemic cardiac output, or to achieve adequate atrial mixing to improve systemic oxygen saturation. We describe a series of patients, ranging in age from 5 weeks to 17 months, in whom we implanted a stent ...

Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect Closure in a 'Nonagenarian' with Intractable Heart Failure

Internal Medicine, 2020
A 92-year-old man was referred to our hospital with decompensated heart failure. He was treated with diuretics and inotropic agents, but the clinical response was unsatisfactory. Echocardiography incidentally revealed an atrial septal defect (ASD) with a significant left-to-right shunt and pulmonary-to-systemic-blood-flow ratio of 2.36. Because the ASD

Atrial septal defect in adulthood: a new paradigm for congenital heart disease

European Heart Journal, 2021
AbstractAtrial septal defects (ASDs) represent the most common congenital heart defect diagnosed in adulthood. Although considered a simple defect, challenges in optimal diagnostic and treatment options still exist due to great heterogeneity in terms of anatomy and time-related complications primarily arrhythmias, thromboembolism, right heart failure ...

Effects of Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defects on Heart Rate Variability [PDF]

Journal of International Medical Research, 2011
This study evaluated heart rate variability and its changes in 30 patients before and after transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects. Heart rate variability data from 30 healthy volunteers with normal echocardiographic parameters and no history of atrial septal defects were included as controls.

Totally thoracoscopic closure for atrial septal defect on perfused beating hearts [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011
To investigate the feasibility and safety of non-robotically assisted totally thoracoscopic closure for atrial septal defect (ASD) on perfused beating hearts.Twenty-four patients (8-45 years, mean 14.4 ± 18.7) underwent ASD closure on beating hearts by a totally thoracoscopic approach without the aid of a robotic surgical system. Additional 72 patients
